THR My recovery thread.

[allena]

thanks.It makes sense I suppose.There's alot of healing going on.

Hey...almost 5 months post op already.
Unbelievable! Well, probably not for you, but it does feel like it was only a couple months ago that you
were pre-op with all the anxiety that goes along with it.
Look how far you've come. And to think there is still room for improvement! Yay
Hope you have a great day!
@allena

 

[allena]

Yep.I'll take any improvement I can get.I hope you have had a good day too.It's been ok so far.

 

[allena]

Just a nice thing I found online.

Happy Easter @allena

 

[allena]

Aw !so cute!Happy easter to you too.

 

[allena]

I did something the other day I had not done for a very long time.I sat down on a one foot tall raised planter -I had been standing awhile and wanted to sit down.It was not very hard to get up or down though I did take my time and held on to my cane.I literally can't recall the last time I was able to do that.

 

[Mojo333]

Being able to do things - even simple things...makes this surgery so amazing.
I'm so happy that you are doing well.

 

[allena]

yes,it does.Thanks.me too.I still have a long way to go though.That is hardly surprising considering how bad the situation got to be and how long it persisted.Slow healing and progress is a lot better than none at all.

I always look at seats and study them... how will I get down... and how the heck will I get back up???

With my son in 1st grade, I get anxiety when I have to be in his classroom. Those little chairs...
Oh my goodness I might as well just lay on the floor!

same here.I understand.I can't get up and down off the floor -anything less than a foot is a no go at this point.

 

[Layla]

I hope you had a lovely Easter, allena.
You're doing so well with your recovery.
Just think...you'll be a half year in, within 3 weeks. Amazing!
Best wishes for sunny / happy days all week!
@allena

 

[allena]

it was ok.thanks.yep.It will be sunny some days this week.thankfully today is one of those days.O hope you have a good day.

 

[SurreyGirl]

So glad it is going well for you!

 

[allena]

thanks.Me too.

 

[allena]

It's been almost 6 months since my surgery.My scar is still really obvious,but not so red at least.I have nothing new to report at this point.Things are going well.

 

[Layla]

Awesome, allena! You continue to do well and full recovery can take up to a year, even longer for some, so
there's still room for improvement. It's encouraging to think about that.
I'll bet over the next 6 months your scar will fade to a thin white line.
I hope you have a nice evening and a great rest of the week.
@allena

 

[allena]

True.I would like that.I'm guessing it will not always be raised too?that would be awesome.red and raised is VERY obvious.I would not be surprised if I take longer than a year to fully heal.after all the situation was pretty bad before the surgery.

 

[allena]

I hope you have a nice evening and good week too.

I think the incision itself flattens as does the immediate area that surrounds it. Give it time...
